Actress Deepika Padukone’s Hollywood debut xXx: Return of Xander Cage, which also stars action star Vin Diesel, will have a special India premiere ahead of its release in January 2017. In an interview given to news channel CNN News18, Diesel revealed that the first thing the Bollywood star asked after coming on board was to have an India premiere of the film.

“When Deepika first met us to talk about the role she said, ‘If I do this role you have to promise me one thing that we do a premiere at India’. And just last week we were scheduling a premiere in India for January 2017. So it’s really going to happen,” Diesel, 49, said.

Diesel, 49, also got candid about the bond he shares with the Bollywood star in an interview with CNN News 18. “I love her so much and we have so much natural chemistry together. All of my moments with her are beautiful. She was going to Fast 7 and when she came to give test for that everyone in room was like ‘Ahhh….It’s so steamy…They have so much chemistry together.’

“xXx: Return of Xander Cage” is set to hit theatres on January 20, 2017 worldwide. The movie, which is the third installment in the “xXx”
franchise, also stars Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa, Nina Dobrev, Rory McCann, Ruby Rose and Samuel L Jackson.
